Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 125: Chen Yang's famous debate scene.

"Bu Yang Shen is incredibly strong."

"Number one on all four lists: click ranking, recommendation ranking, collection ranking, and total monthly ticket ranking. It seems like no one else has achieved this level of prestige."

"Tomato did it before, but he only got to be number one on the click list, recommendation list, and collection list."

The prestige of being number one on four lists is far greater than that of being number one on a single list.

In here.

The most valuable ranking is the total monthly votes.

This isn't the first time Chen Yang has been number one in a month.

Previously, he had not only defeated a group of top players, but even Platinum players.

At this moment.

He also successfully retained his number one position.

After all, many people know that.

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to keep it.

It's easy for you to get first place for a month, but if you get it for two or three months... that's really, really difficult.

This doesn't mean your book has deteriorated.

This is still the same viewpoint as Chen Yang's previous one.

The starting point is not just Chen Yang's starting point.

Qidian is the starting point for countless authors.

Countless authors have been working hard and striving on Qidian.

A series of divine books thus emerged.

Tomato's Stellar Transformation is...

The infinite terror of Z University is also true.

Especially Z's Infinite Terror.

This groundbreaking work, once published, became a phenomenon, pioneering the infinite flow genre.

Even if we consider it in later generations.

The infinite flow genre still possesses an incredibly long lifespan.

It is precisely because of the appearance of these divine books.

It's rare for one author to dominate the top spot on the overall monthly ticket ranking.

but.

At this moment, Chen Yang was trampling the challengers under his feet time and time again.

of course.

Actually, besides the total monthly ticket ranking...

The click ranking, recommendation ranking, and collection ranking are also highly valuable lists.

Because once people have published their products, they may not look at the click rankings or recommendation rankings.

But those that rank first are all masterpieces.

Especially the collection list.

It was number one on the list of favorite collections in my previous life.

Even if it's not number one.

The top ten are all classic horror works.

"Well, actually, Bu Yangshen isn't number one on the four lists, he's number one on the five lists."

"Five lists, what other lists are there?"

"If we include the Junding list, wouldn't Buyang Shen be number one on the five lists?"

"Unfortunately, Qidian does not currently have a ranking list."

"Yes, not only is there no average order list, but there's also no high-order list, no sales list... If these lists were added, I think Bu Yang Shen would take first place on six lists, or even seven lists."

"Alright, I know what level of strength Bu Yang Shen has now."

The fact that Chen Yang topped these lists is a testament to his strength.

"From this perspective, it will be very difficult for others to challenge the status of the Unsung God."

"Moon View might still have some opportunities. However, it also depends on the cooperation of the media."

"I don't know if Tang San is one, but Tang San's works are written in a very steady and reliable way. They are steady enough, but they are not amazing, so it is difficult for him to reach the top."

"Chen Dong still has a chance. But unfortunately... in his previous PK with Bu Yangshen, Bu Yangshen somewhat suppressed Dong Ge's momentum. I just don't know if Dong Ge can bring Bu Yangshen down if he encounters him again."

"The toad is still very strong. But while the toad is strong, it lacks ambition, and sometimes it's a eunuch, so it's probably going to be difficult."

"I think it has to be Shenji's new book that comes out."

"That's right, with Shenji out of the picture, who can compete with him? Besides Shenji, Bu Yangshen probably has no other opponent to fight against now."

……

Several of Chen Yang's roommates learned that he had bought a car.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

Wang Mingming said.

I thought Li Xue's family was well-off, but I never expected your family to be the real tycoons.

Chen Yang didn't say anything.

I took a ride around with a group of people from the dormitory.

Several classmates were quite envious.

Chen Yang said, "My dad has some money. After we graduate, we'll definitely be able to buy better cars."

Everyone was filled with envy again.

"By the way, Chen Yang, there's a debate this afternoon. Your teammates don't have time. Could you fill in for them?"

"It was a last-minute decision, and I wasn't prepared."

"What preparations are needed? You always give me advice, right? I think you'll be fine with it."

"Okay, then tell me the question first."

"Love that grows over time versus love at first sight."

"Oh, let me think."

"Thinking about it on the way."

Since there were no classes in the afternoon, Li Xue made the suggestion.

Chen Yang thought about it.

He agreed.

mainly.

Chen Yang is quite interested in debate competitions.

This interest is something that Chen Yang enjoys.

Chen Yang also felt that debate competitions require a lot of thinking and logic.

This is advantageous for writing books.

of course.

The most important thing is.

Chen Yang felt that debate competitions were a way to argu with people.

Especially during the questioning session.

It was quite enjoyable to have representatives from both sides ask each other questions and then engage in a heated debate.

……

"It's you?"

As soon as Chen Yang arrived at the debate venue, he saw the senior student who had accidentally bumped her bicycle last time.

The senior student also recognized Chen Yang.

Are you here to participate in the debate competition as well?

“One of my classmates didn’t come today, so I’ll fill in for him.”

"Oh, come on."

Wang Mingming, who was standing next to him, said, "Chen Yang, do you know Senior Xu Wan?"

"Is her name Xu Wan?"

"Yes, our most famous debater from Aurora University. We're going to have a PK with her in a bit."

"Wow, that's amazing."

"Hehe, I guess that's why that guy isn't coming."

"It's fine, the main focus is on verbal attacks anyway."

Chen Yang didn't particularly care.

He agreed only because he wanted to vent his frustrations.

As for winning or losing, he doesn't care.

Are we on the affirmative or the negative side?

"We're on the opposing side; it was love at first sight."

"oh oh."

Although I hadn't prepared beforehand.

However, Chen Yang was a liberal arts student after all.

After some mental preparation, he had an idea.

"You will be our third debater in a moment."

"Okay."

In a typical debate, both sides send out four debaters.

If we were to address him/her...

That is the first, second, third, and fourth speakers for the affirmative side.

The opposing team's first, second, third, and fourth speakers.

The first speaker is responsible for their side's opening statement, argument, and expression of their main viewpoints.

The second and third debaters are responsible for arguing with each other and finding fault with their opponents.

The fourth speaker is usually responsible for summarizing.

Of course, the rules are different for different debate competitions.

In the past, some TV stations would create various entertaining rules in order to improve viewership.

Ten minutes later.

The opposing sides took their seats.

The host introduced the topic of the debate and the debaters from both sides. Then, the first speaker from the affirmative side gave the first speech.

The affirmative side argued that feelings develop over time.

His speech lasted about 3 minutes.

It roughly describes the advantages of developing feelings over time and the disadvantages of falling in love at first sight.

Love grows over time, and true character is revealed over time.

Love at first sight often leads to hormones deceiving you, causing you to encounter a series of scumbags.

Next, the first speaker for the opposing side will present their argument.

The first speaker for the opposing side, Chen Yang, also knew him.

Xie Hongguang from the next class.

Xie Hongguang's argument was similar to that of the affirmative side, relatively stable and without much aggression.

of course.

This isn't the most interesting part either.

Basically, the first thing is to raise a banner.

What I support, what you support.

then.

That is cross-examination and debate.

Cross-examination is when both sides raise questions to each other.

This is also the most interesting part.

Chen Yang is the third speaker for the opposing side.

He didn't expect that.

As soon as the cross-examination began, the affirmative team's debaters immediately questioned them.

But it’s normal to think about it.

After all, I'm new here.

They knew most of the others and their approximate skill levels.

I'm using this as a substitute, firstly to test my own level, and secondly in case I find that my level is really bad.

If you're not careful, this could easily give the affirmative side a lot of points.

However, Chen Yang has never participated in a debate competition.

But he had accompanied Wang Mingming earlier.

In addition, Chen Yang has written countless millions of words in his books.

When he's writing, the characters have been fighting with each other countless times.

A debate is called a debate, but isn't it just arguing?
It's like in the TV series "Hail the Judge".

It all comes down to who's better at arguing and who's more skilled at roasting others.

"My fellow debater, if you fall in love at first sight, would you dare to marry the person you meet on a blind date?"

The second speaker for the affirmative side directly called out Chen Yang's name.

As the third speaker for the opposing side, Chen Yang had to stand up and respond.

This is the questioning session, also known as the debate session.

However, since it is now the affirmative side asking the questions, the right to attack is more favorable to the affirmative side.

But no matter how favorable it is to the affirmative side, Chen Yang is not one to be trifled with.

He immediately replied, "Then let me ask you, if you go on a blind date, would you dare to marry the person you meet at first glance?"

"So, feelings can develop over time. After a blind date, you meet someone and then gradually get to know them. If you're compatible in all aspects, you get married."

Chen Yang immediately countered, "What if you feel the other person isn't a good match after the blind date?"

"It's normal if it's not a good match. Just go on another date. You'll eventually find someone suitable."

"But I'm sorry, I've been on countless blind dates, but I haven't met anyone suitable. And the most crucial thing here is that you can negotiate conditions on blind dates. Before the date, I'll list out what conditions I require of the other person: height, appearance, income, etc. I think he's suitable for me if I see certain conditions. But when someone who perfectly meets all your conditions appears, you may not necessarily fall in love with him."

"So it takes time for feelings to develop."

"No, let's assume they both meet my criteria. Which one would I choose? Actually, under the same conditions, the moment you make your choice, it's love at first sight."

"pretty……"

The audience applauded.

Although Chen Yang was on the opposing side, he was the one being questioned.

However, when questioned by others, he can use their strength against them and refute their viewpoints.

"Not bad, not bad, this new student is quite capable. He's calm, persistent, and has a strong ability to perform under pressure. More importantly, he can always find and exploit the opponent's weaknesses."

The host and the referee nodded to each other.

Chen Yang's answer significantly boosted the score for the opposing side.

But it's a pity.

When it was the opposing side's turn to question the affirmative side.

Xu Wan, representing the affirmative side, seized upon a weakness in the negative side's strategy and quickly regained a significant portion of the points.

……

Next, it was time for open discussion.

This stage.

Chen Yang called it the free-for-all banter segment.

In this segment, all debaters except the fourth speaker can participate in the verbal sparring.

Wang Mingming felt some pressure and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, please ask more questions in the next segment."

"Row."

Chen Yang nodded.

When the host announced the start of the open discussion, Chen Yang stated directly: "Actually, everyone has their own values ​​regarding whether love develops over time or at first sight. However, I still lean more towards love at first sight. Why? Everyone has seen those films, right? Those who have seen them know that the actors in those educational films are just acting; they don't actually enjoy it. Even if they were really having sex, they wouldn't develop feelings. The ones who truly enjoy it are us, the viewers. It's the same in real life. Can we really develop feelings for someone we don't like over time?"

Chen Yang's question immediately drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

However, this question is quite funny.

But I must say, he makes a lot of sense.

The affirmative side immediately responded: "My fellow debater, your statement that feelings don't develop over time is actually due to insufficient time. Given enough time, feelings will naturally develop."

Chen Yang said again, "Not long enough? One year isn't long enough, so let's do it for another year. Two years isn't long enough, so let's do it again, two, three, four times. If you've done it all in a lifetime and still can't develop feelings, what will you do with your life?"

this moment.

Even the host was laughing so hard he almost fell over.

"..."

even.

Not just the host.

Even the affirmative side was stunned by Chen Yang's words and didn't know how to respond.

Finally, Xu Wan, the strongest debater from Aurora University, stepped forward and said, "What you're talking about is just an exception. Just like the love at first sight you support, it doesn't only exist in humans, it also exists in animals. In fact, one might experience love at first sight countless times in their lifetime. When you actually see a beautiful woman, you like her, and you marry her, what happens if you meet someone else you love at first sight after you're married? Do you divorce her and marry this person you love at first sight? And then you meet someone else, and you divorce her again and marry her again?"

More than half an hour.

This debate competition has now come to an end.

As for Xu Wan's statement, Chen Yang's opposing side didn't have a very good response either.

But that's how debates are.

Both sides have valid points.

You can't simply state an opinion and completely suppress the other person.

in contrast.

The other side is unlikely to leave you with no way out because of their one point of view.

That's what makes a debate so captivating.

of course.

Since it's a debate, we naturally need to determine who's better.

The outcome of this match.

undoubtedly.

Ultimately, the decision was given to the opposing side.

no way.

Chen Yang's line, "One year isn't long enough, so let's do another year. Two years isn't long enough, so let's do it again, two, two, three, four..." is truly magical.

It doesn't matter whether Chen Yang convinced the affirmative side or not.

All he needs to do is convince the referee and the audience.

Even after the debate is over.

Everyone was still recalling that seemingly reasonable but incredibly cheesy statement.

but.

These words were not spoken by Chen Yang.

The quote Chen Yang used was spoken by a girl named Wang Mei in his previous life.

That's because this sentence is so magical.

As soon as these words came out.

She then acquired the nickname "Hiku-nee".

……

"Excuse me, wait a minute."

After the debate ended, Xu Wan made a special trip to Chen Yang's side.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Senior, let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Yang."

"Xu Wan".

"Oh, it's Senior Xu Wan. Is your foot alright?"

"fine."

Xu Wan said, "Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I was conscripted into this force."

"Oh... maybe you can come more often in the future?"

"Row."

Chen Yang nodded.

Don't say it.

It was quite enjoyable to have a bit of a verbal sparring session with them just now.
